Broccoli Chicken Penne

By -


 

My friend gave me this recipe in TX, and we've used a version ever since

Broccoli Parmesan Pasta 

1-2 lb. broccoli

2 pieces grilled chicken, cut into cubes

8 cloves fresh garlic

1 lb. pasta

fresh parmesan cheese

fresh tomato

1/2-1 cup of Italian dressing (we use a homemade version from the Blair's salad, but you could use Olive Garden Italian as well).

You boil the noodles, and then add the broccoli during the last 3-4 minutes so that it is cooked but stays bright green. Drain it all, throw olive oil and garlic on it, add the chicken, put the dressing on it, and top with lots of fresh parm.

Blueberry Pie

 I liked this version better than the one I blogged a few years ago. It is just pure blueberry pie, and the lemon does not come through, which is what I wanted for this version. 30 oz. blueberries (6 cups) 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/3 cup ultragel 1/3 cup sugar 1-2 T. butter, cut into little chunks, 2 pie crusts So, you essentially put the lemon juice over the berries, and stir the ultragel and sugar together in a separate bowl and then dump them over the berries and really stir until it is thoroughly combined and there aren't any clumps./ I had to take a few minutes break in between to let the berries macerate a bit before I could get it all stirred in. Then you dump it in a pie crust, dot it with the butter, put the floating pie crust on top, put an egg wash on it, and then some table sugar. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes and then 350 for 35-50 minutes. It will start to bubble all over, and about 15 minutes before it's done, put a cookie sheet underneath to catch the inevitable d...
